Elevated triglycerides are also a type of hyperlipidemia.

Hyperlipidemia is divided into primary and secondary hyperlipidemia.

Secondary hyperlipidemia is commonly seen in uncontrolled diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, uremia, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

The treatment is the same as that for hyperlipidemia. Pay attention to exercise, maintain a low - fat diet, and take lipid - lowering medications.
